Angela Davis

Angela Yvonne Davis (born: 26 January 1944) is the current leader of the UAPR as the Chairman of the Presidium since 1987 and the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the USA. She is the first president of the Union of American People's Republic.

Biography
The deeply polarizing but highly influential Angela Davis has a long history of labor and civil rights activism. She was one of the closest allies of Communist Party USA General Secretary Gus Hall, even running on his ticket for president in 1980.

In the next election Hall stepped aside and allowed Davis to run for president in her own right, sweeping the West Coast and securing the greatest electoral victory in the party’s history. When the beloved General Secretary was assassinated the following year, Davis was quick to marginalize her rivals and secure her position as Hall’s successor.

As tensions rose following decades of civil unrest, President Ronald Reagan was forced to dissolve the United States in 1987. The CPUSA already held immense influence in the West and Davis used this power to remove her political rivals, eventually forming the Union of American People’s Republics with herself as paramount leader.

Further expansion was prevented by hostile right-wing forces to the east, but Davis cemented her legitimacy in the eyes of most of the world by visiting the Soviet Union in 1988. At home her purges continued, culminating in the 1993 Sacramento Massacre where Davis was accused of killing thousands of dissidents.

This left a deep division in the party, as Davis grew increasingly hostile to Soviet influence while the economy fell into a depression. Now her control of the party is tenuous, and her personally progressive stances and activist past has created conflict with her expected role as a supporter of Soviet hegemony
